Perfect pair

-°•°•°•°•--•°•°•°•°--°•°•°•°•--•°•°•°•°-Pairings: Lewis Hamilton x famous!actress!Reader

Warnings: Maybe a swear word or two, idk. There is loads of mentions of dogs so Im sorry if you're allergic :(.

Notes: I saw a tik tok (by the user ayloparis) about celebrities seen on raya, the celeb dating app. And Lewis was just there (middle photo above)!?!? And it stuck in my mind (also Ben Hardy was there aswell, how random).

Summary: When you moved to Monaco, the last thing you expected was your greatest fan and a fan of a race car driver to almost force you to go on a date with said F1 driver. But when you find that same man on a dating app, it doesn't hurt that talk to him; especially because he's so gorgeous.

Dream Daddies Pt1

Pairing: No pairing yet (eventual polyamory between the reader and Frankie, Joel, Jack, Oberyn, and Ezra. It's a lot but boy do I have a lot of love to give lol)

Words: 3.5k

Rating: G (will turn M at some point)

Series Notes: Reader as a child oc along with Frankie ("Ellie" short for Evelynn) and Jack (unnamed as of right now).

Warnings: This chapter is pretty good. Only has a brief mention of spousal death.

Summary: You're a new dad at a new school, and by happenstance you end up meeting some more dreamy dads.

Author: Mod Mouse

Notes: I have had so much brain rot for the game Dream Daddy so I needed an excuse to write a fic inspired by that game. So this is what that is. I can already tell ya this will be a longer series so buckle up buckaroos for a slow burn.

“Papa?” Your daughter asked as she gently tugged at your pants.

Squatting down so you could be at her eye level you asked, “What is it sweetie?” You gently cupping her small cheek in your hand.

She sniffled and your heart panged from her sadness. “I-I’m scawed.”

“Aww you don’t have anything to be worried about. Mr. Ben is a great teacher and you will have so much fun with him.” You tried to reassure your daughter. “I talked to him and he has so many fun crafts and games that you’ll love. I know you love glitter crafts.”

“B-But I miss you,” She sniffled and quickly wrapped her small arms around your neck. You gently hugged her back, running your hands up and down her small back in hopes of soothing her.

“I’ll miss you too, but guess what?” You said and kissed her soft hair.

She sniffled again “What?”

“We’ll see each other at the end of the day. Here look,” You replied and gently turned her small frame to the far wall. You pointed up to the colorful clock. “When the big hand is on the 12 and the small hand is on the 2, then we can see each other again.”

Your daughter smiled “Really papa?”

You smiled and kissed her cheek. “Really really baby, now how about you show your teacher your new backpack.” You encouraged her.

“Okay! Bye papa!” She kisses your cheek and hurries to her new class with none of the previous worry left on her small face.

You smile and lean back on the doorframe watching her interact with her new teacher. “You’re a natural at that,” You hear a voice say and you turn to see a middle aged man in the hallway holding a bright pink unicorn backpack. The dark flannel and the worn hat was quite the contrast from the bright colors in his hand. He seemed to be older than you imagined with just a touch of salt and pepper in his beard.

You smirked “And my guess is that that isn’t your backpack.”

He chuckled a nice deep hardy laugh and shook his head. “Couldn’t find any in my size. No, this is for my daughter Ellie.” He said pointing to a girl with an equally pink dress and pigtails talking to another kid. You smiled when you realized that that child was your own.

“Seems like our kids are fast friends,” You smiled the love of your child very evident on your face.

“Oh that one is yours? What’s her name?” He asked as he too watched them interact. Lily was excitedly showing Ellie her new lunchbox.

“Lily,” You answered. “It was her dad’s idea.”

“That’s a very cute name. Will he also be dropping her off?”

“Oh um no he…” You sighed, “He died when she was just a baby.”

The stranger paled “Oh god I’m sorry I didn’t realize,” He stumbled.

“It’s okay like I said it was years ago, and you didn’t know.” You held out your hand in introduction. “Sorry I forgot to tell you my name.”

He held out his hand and you took it. It was rougher than you thought. “That’s alright. I’m Frankie Morales. It was nice to meet you.”

“It was nice to meet you too,” You smiled softly. “Will I see you at drop off more often?”

“Probably,” He smiled. “I get Ellie on the weekdays and her mom gets her on the weekends.” Frankie explained and peaked inside the classroom setting the backpack in his daughter's cubby. When he peaked back out he tipped his worn ball cap. “Will you be at the Start of Year celebration on Friday?”

“We plan on it,” You answered. “My daughter hasn’t stopped talking about it.” Your daughter always did love a party.

“Then I’ll see you there!” Frankie smiled and turned leaving down the hall. You watched the stranger before turning back to your daughter, making sure she knew you were leaving and you headed to work.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The first week of classes went by in a blink of an eye. Lily was excited to show you all the crafts she created throughout the week and you put everything on the fridge. She had even made a couple of friends whom she talked about constantly. And that included on the way to the Start of Year celebration. You smiled at her enthusiasm which grew when they entered the gymnasium.

Jackson Academy had their elementary and middle school combined into one building so there was a wide range of ages at the celebration. The amount of people you didn’t recognize made you anxious but your daughter was excited to go.

“Papa, can I go pway with my fwends?” She asked, pointing to where her class was gathered.

“Of course, I’ll be by the snacks if you need me,” You said as she scampered away. Now it was just you. You sighed. Well snacks it was. You picked up a paper plate in the school colors and took in your options. A variety of chips and dips with an entire bakery of cupcakes and cookies were at your disposal. You took a little bit of each just to give you something to do with your hands.

The plate was folding in on itself by the time you were done. You supported it with your other hand and looked around for a place. Everyone seemed to be talking with everyone else. Damn you had really hoped being the new kid stopped after high school, but that’s what happens when you have your own kid.

There was a place at the end of the basketball court that didn’t seem as busy so you claimed your spot and watched as your child interacted with her classmates. You really wished you still had her extrovertedness. She got that all from her dad. He would’ve known how to do this.

You absentmindedly pushed the ranch around with a carrot stick when you heard a voice, “I think the carrot has enough ranch on it.”

You looked up and smiled when you saw Frankie there happy to have a familiar face in the crowd. “Oh well you can never have enough ranch.”

“I’ll take your word for it,” He chuckled, shoving his hands in his jeans pockets. “Do you have anyone else you’re meeting here?” Frankie asked.

“Uh no we’re actually new to this area of town. Just moved here a few weeks ago.” You admit. “Haven’t had the chance to explore the local hangout joints.”

“Really why do you join our little group? Just a few other dads who hang out. Unless you rather keep company with the celery sticks.” He smirked looking down at your plate.

You laughed. “I would love to meet your friends.”

“Great here we’re right over there,” He said and led you to one of the round tables.

You carried your plate over to the table and was surprised how similar that group looked. The similarities between these dads were almost impressive. They looked like they could all be related.

“This is Joel Miller,” He pointed to a man with salt and pepper dotting his hair. He seemed to be older than the rest of the group, the wrinkles a prominent feature. Joel gave a quick nod of acknowledgement in your direction. It seemed he really wasn’t much of a talker.

“Jack Daniels,” The man gave you a tip of his black cowboy hat. He was different from the previous dad with his well groomed mustache, and where Joel had the hint of Texan flair Jack was fully dressed in cowboy attire which would have looked tacky on anyone else. But for some reason it worked really well on him.

“Ezra,” This one had a streak of blonde hair that fell on his forehead. He wore a sweater that looked simple at first glance but you realized that there were deep subtle patterns on the fabric. This was paired with black jeans with slight rips in them along with thick black boots.

“And Oberyn Martell,” There was nothing subtle about this dad. Everything he wore was in some shade of yellows that somehow flowed well with each other. Gold chains adorned his neck and each finger had some sort of ring adorning it. Either he had a lot of money or he put a lot of effort into his wardrobe.

You gave a small wave before turning to Frankie. “You’ve got quite the group here.”

“You could say that,” He answered and he sat back down in his chair. You introduced yourself and joined him in the seat adjacent to him.

Though there was a bit of silence that you wanted to fill but you had no idea how to even start. Luckily it seemed like there was one of the dads who was just as uncomfortable with silence as you were. “What grade is your youngling in?” Ezra asked, leaning against his arm against the table.

“Oh mine just started kindergarten. I had her in a preschool, but I transferred her to this school,” You answered before taking a bite out of a cookie.

“That’s how we actually met,” Frankie added. “We ran into each other at the dropoff.”

“Seems like it was just yesterday I was dropping my child off at kindergarten,” Jack reminisced. He turned to look at you. “But now he’s in big boy day elementary school now.”

“Soon you’ll have to help him with math homework,” You chuckle. “Kindergarten I can help with, but I will be utterly useless when it comes to that homework.”

“Just wait till they decided to take honors trigonometry.” Ezra added. “I love them truly, but that is not my realm of knowledge.”

“I’m sure my daughter would help Cee in that department,” Oberyn added.

“Of course your daughter is quite affluent when it comes to arithmetic,” Ezra beamed and kissed his cheek.

“You must be very proud of her,” You mentioned looking in their direction.

Oberyn turns to look at you, “Everyday. She takes after her mother.”

“Oh is she here tonight?” You asked.

He shook his head. “Not this school year. She’s traveling with my other daughters across Europe since she wanted them to see the world before they started high school.”

Your eyes widened and part of you was jealous. Everything you worked for went to your child but you it wasn’t likely you could ever do anything that grand for your daughter. Almost sensing your internal conflict, Oberyn leaned over the table and gently took his hand in yours. “She had come into a recent inheritance and decided to put most of it in a trust fund. The rest was spent on this trip.” He explained gently rubbing his thumb over your knuckles. You blushed at the interaction. “You are an amazing parent. I can tell.”

“It seems like the red viper has eyes on one another,” Jack commented over the rim of the plastic cup as he watched the interaction. Joel hummed an agreement.

Before you could ask what he meant by that your daughter ran up to the table. “Papa! Papa!” You hear your daughter call for you and you turn to see her holding the hand of one of her classmates who you recognized as Frankie’s daughter.

You smiled, happy to see your child settling in with some of her friends. “Hi sweetie.”

“Papa Ellie’s dad can fly!” Lily told you excitedly.

“Oh is that true?” You asked and looked back at Frankie. He blushed and rubbed the back of his neck.

“Technically it’s true. I just fly a helicopter.” He admitted.

“Ya but that’s still really cool!” Ellie chimed in. “Maybe Daddy can show you his ship sometime?”

You giggled “I think I would very much like that.”

The two girls giggled and hurried back to their little group. You looked back at Frankie who was slightly hiding behind his hand.

“Seems like ya daughters are already setting you up on a date,” Jack winkied before taking another sip of his lemonade.

Frankie rolled his eyes. “Jack, you say that everytime.”

Jack smiled and leaned back in his plastic chair. “Well I’m just stating the facts, partner.”

“Is this something your daughter does often?” You asked him.

“Yes she’s convinced about true love ever since I let her watch the Princess Bride,” He sighed and fidgeted with his napkin.

“Better than my child. I am all for self expression but I could only take so many different renditions of My Little Pony,” Oberyn commented.

Ezra smirked and wrapped his arm around Oberyn’s bicep. “Though you have to admit the zombie apocalypse version had you on the edge of your seat. It was almost Shakespearan.”

Oberyn looked down at his partner and kissed his head. “Okay you do have a point.”

“Sounds like you have a little creator on your hands,” You smiled.

“Whatever creative outlet she wants to explore, I am more than willing to fund.” Oberyn answered.

You smiled softly. The conversation flowed well within the group and you really appreciated having other dads that could help you through your parenting journey. They weren't what you were expecting. Most of the dads you had met before were usually indifferent about their children and their interests, but it was really nice to see them all give their whole hearts into their children.

Before you could say anything else, the principal stood up on the auditorium stage and began his quick introduction to the school year. You didn’t know it yet, but it was indeed going to be quite the school year for you too.

~~~~~~~~

“I promise I can create programming,” You sighed, rubbing your eyes. The library needed something for the calendar for the fall season, but you swear you peaked last year. Sensing your turmoil, your favorite coworker swiveled their chair to face you.

“And I can tell you that you just burnt yourself out when you did the How to Fair and don’t forget the Scarecrow festival. You run that every year. And you run a bookclub on top of it.” They mentioned twirling a pencil in their fingers. “You already do a lot of programming. Just make Chris come up with something. You know he’s looking for any excuse to do something for the library.”

You groaned, leaning your head down against the coolness of the desk. “I hate it when you’re right.”

They gently patted your back and stood up from their chair. “Here give me your mug. It's clear you need a caffeine boost.”

You lift your mug up for them, your head not leaving the desk. “You are a god sent.”

“Well I’m not sure if a god sent me, but some powers that be sure did,” They chuckled and went back to the break room for a refill.

The quiet of the library allowed you some sense of calm while your mind raced. The library was a great place to work just sometimes it required a lot of your mental capacity. You stayed like that for a moment trying to brainstorm an idea when a familiar voice asked, “I have a feeling that it’s not just the Dewey Decimal system that’s got you all worn out.”

You looked up and was surprised to see Ezra here. “Not just Dewey. Marc has my number too apparently.” You rubbed your eyes. “But it’s nice to see you.”

“It’s a pleasant surprise to see you working at this establishment,” He mentioned leaning against the counter.

“Been working here for some time, just at another branch. I transferred here which happened to be closer to where Lily goes to school.”

“Well now I am more justified to come to visit this alluring library. Actually that brings me to my inquiry.” He perked up and leaned over the desk.

“You came to the right place. I’m all ears,” You chuckled.

“I’m actually looking for a book. Where might your copy of A Clockwork Orange be?”

“Let me check,” You say as you type away on your computer. After a few different searches you say, “Seems like our copy is checked out, but I can put a hold on it if you want.”

“That would be perfect,” Ezra smiled and pulled out his library card, handing it to you. You blushed as your fingers brushed against yours, but you quickly recovered.

You scanned his library card with a soft beep, and after a few more clicks you announced, “That book has been placed on hold for you.” You hand the card back over to Ezra who slides it back into his wallet.

“Thank you kindly as ever. I’ll hopefully see ya around sometime.” He smiled before turning away.

“Have a good day,” You waved after him as he left your area. A smile grew on your face.

You had to rub lean your hand on your cheek to hide the slight blush on your cheek. “Well now you haven’t told me about him yet,” The voice of your coworker made you jump. They chuckled and set the mug next to you. Plopping themselves back in their section, they said “Spill.”

“It really is nothing,” You state, holding the warm mug in your hands.

“Oh ya and I’m Santa Claus,” They roll their eyes.

“I don’t know what you do on the weekends,” You joke. “And you always take December off.”

“Touche but that’s not the point. You don’t just blush at every patron.”

“Ugh fine, we met at the start of the school year party. Frankie introduced me to his friend group. He was their with several other dads whose kids all go to the same school”

“Well that’s one hell of a meet cute,” They wiggled their eyebrows over the rim of their mug.

“Yes but I’m sure they have a partner. I saw them together at the party. They seemed to be pretty attached to each other.”

Your coworker was quiet for a moment and looked back to see if Ezra was still there. He lingered at one of the displays before heading out the sliding doors. When he left they turned back to you. “Pull up their file.”

You looked over at them quizzically, but pulled up their information that was still up from the hold. Tilting the screen so they could see. “Here.”

They rolled closer to you scanning the information. “I knew he sounded familiar. He comes in here with his partner for that poly support group that comes every Wednesday evening. I think his partner's name is Oberyn. I can’t forget a name like that.”

You blushed. “Then that’s him.” You turned back to his information and did a double take. Something about his address looked familiar. “Wait a second.”

“What?” Your coworker leaned closer to you taking in the information.

“This,” You pointed to the address. “That’s near my house. Like two or three houses down in the cul de sac.”

Their eyes widened. “That’s a crazy coincidence.”

You hurriedly typed another name in the search bar. Jack Daniels. You searched his profile too. Same thing two doors down. “How have I not noticed this?”

“What, what haven’t you noticed?” They frantically searched between you and the screen.

But you didn’t answer them. You typed in a few more names. Joel Miller. Frankie Morales. Oberyn Martell. One to the left of you, one to the right of you, and one on the other side of the street.

“Holy shit,” You whispered.

“What!” They raised their voice.

You blushed as you looked back at your coworker. “You remember that back to school party where I met all of those handsome men?”

“Yes and you wouldn’t stop talking about them. What about it?”

You paused before saying, “They all live in the same street as me.”

Their eyes widened and they turned back to the screen. “That’s so crazy! All of them?.” They turned back to you with a smirk when they realized what that meant. “And you’ve been talking about them nonstop this past week.” You could see the wicked gleam in their eyes.

“No I can’t go flirting with all those guys,” You quickly shut down any idea they were having.

“I know you and you’ve been wanting to explore your poly side for a while now. I’m not usually one to believe in fate, but when five handsome men just fall in your life you thank a higher being.”

You take a long sip of your coffee. You sighed “If I do this and that’s the biggest if, how am I to know if they are even okay with this?”

“You ask, you flirt and you find out.” They tell you softly. “I know you need this. Come on. You haven’t had this much fun in a while.”

You thought for a moment staring into the dark liquid. “I hate it when you're right.”

They chuckled and went back to their computer. “I can’t help it. I just call it when I see it.”

You lean back in your chair rubbing your eyes as you stare at the address. What have you gotten yourself into?

Thylacine rambles - Talking about Walter Hardy

Alright guys, today I thought it’d be fun to ramble about one of my favorite characters in Spectacular Spider-Man and why I love him so much.

Aka this guy. Walter Hardy, also known as the Cat Burglar.

Despite being a relatively minor character in the show (like…he only appears in two episodes and his total screen-time is under ten minutes), he very quickly became one of my favorites. Why you ask?

Well, it’s because I found him to be one of the most well-written and nuanced characters in the show (and that’s saying something, as I believe that one of Spectacular’s biggest strengths was its use of nuanced characters).

The episode he mainly appears in, Opening Night, is also one of my top five favorite episodes of the series and imo an example of the show’s writing at its strongest. The way it manages to balance the A and B plots using dialogue from “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” was absolutely brilliant. But what I loved the most about this episode was how it handled the theme of grief and forgiveness - which is where Walter comes in.

I know a lot of people either didn’t like or straight up hated the twist of Black Cat’s father being the burglar who murdered Uncle Ben. Personally I don’t mind it; I honestly think it’s an interesting change of pace and a way to set up some equally interesting conflicts between Cat and Spiderman - especially concerning their differing worldviews. That’s something I’ll elaborate on further in another post, but for now I’m gonna focus on Walter.

I’m gonna cut straight to the chase; I love Walter’s characterization. It would’ve been easy for the writers to make him another dime a dozen, deadbeat prisoner dad who hated Spiderman and only cared about escaping - especially since in this universe he’s Ben’s killer, a character who is already very easy to hate.

But they didn’t. Instead, rather than make him a one dimensional antagonist, they went out of their way to make him an actual character with depth and nuance.

Despite the fact that he killed Ben, Walter isn’t demonized, but his actions aren’t shied away from either. His crime isn’t retconned as being a misunderstanding or an act of self defense. The show makes it very clear that what he did was fueled solely by selfishness, cowardice, and fear. What he did was unforgivable.

And where I think Walter’s characterization really shines is the fact that he accepts full responsibility for what he did. He doesn’t excuse, deny, or rationalize it. He doesn’t self-pity; He understands what he did and actively chooses to accept the consequences. He doesn’t stay behind at the prison out of some selfish want for forgiveness, but because it was the right thing to do.

He expresses genuine remorse and shame for what he did and wants to atone for his crimes. And although Spiderman rightfully doesn’t forgive him, even after he offers to stay behind, Walter doesn’t protest or argue. Rather, he simply says “I understand.”

He knows he’s not owed that forgiveness and he doesn’t expect it. Furthermore, the show doesn’t punish Spiderman for not forgiving him. One could argue that it kinda did via Cat’s hostile response to him, but I saw that more as Cat (who’s already been established as a rather morally grey character) being conflicted and grief-stricken instead of the show telling the audience that Spiderman was wrong to not accept Walter’s apology.

The biggest reason why I love this so much is because of how well the theme of forgiveness is handled in this episode. This show is legitimately one of the only examples of an animated series I can think of that goes out of its way to say “hey, you don’t always have to forgive someone, and you’re not owed forgiveness even if you are genuinely sorry. Sometimes the scars are too deep and painful for an apology to fix.”

The only other show I can think of that had a message similar to that was Bojack Horseman. I find this episode in particular so great because all too often do I see the idea of forgiveness being forced upon the characters; the message that someone should be forgiven just because they said they’re sorry. Never mind the fact that they didn’t do anything to earn it. Not only is that a terrible message, but it’s a potentially dangerous one as well. (looking at you, Raya and the Last Dragon.)

It’s just a breath of fresh air to see a show handle a topic such as this one in a way that’s legitimately well-written for once.

One last thing that I’ll mention about Walter that I love is his characterization as a father. Again, it could’ve been easy to have him be some deadbeat dad, or have him and Felicia’s relationship be strained. But they didn’t do that.

Walter is far from a perfect parent but despite his crimes, he’s shown to be a very loving and caring father who wants his daughter to be safe. He actively expresses concern for her safety when she shows up in his cell and also tries to dissuade her from breaking him out - prioritizing her safety over his own. Even though they butt heads a few times, they’re both shown to very clearly love and care about one another and it’s genuinely very sweet.

Overall, I love this show and how it handles its themes. It’s one of the most well-written cartoons I’ve ever watched. I hope you enjoyed my rambling and I’m curious to hear y’all’s thoughts.

(One last thing. Walter will be appearing in my fic! As I stated above I think he’s a very interesting character and I wanted to explore his characterization further since I think he’s got a lot of potential.)

Family, Ben Hardy

Word Count: 1.8k~

Warnings: mention of having kids, all of the family members are made up.

Ben's family wasn't gigantic, as he didn't have many siblings; however, he did have a lot of cousins who also had a lot of kids, which he still considered to be his nieces and nephews. This meant that family gatherings were always full of small children running around playing, occasionally getting an adult to join them in their fun activities. Sometimes it would be one of Ben's younger cousins, but because Ben loved his nieces and nephews to death (and he could never say no to them), he was the primary target of their games.

Upon walking onto Ben's parent's back patio with him beside me, I quickly give him a kiss on the lips just as one of his six-year-old nieces runs up and tries to drag him onto the yard where all the kids play football (or soccer, if you're in America). Smiling, he gives me one quick wave before blowing a kiss and yelling, "I love you!" It's nothing unusual - all of the kids love Ben.

It's only a matter of seconds before Ben is rolling around in the grass with his nephews and nieces as he playfully fights for the ball they're trying to hide from him. The sight makes me smile as the overwhelming sense of love I have for Ben rushes over me, causing my heart to beat like a hummingbird. Not to mention the slowly growing baby in my womb happens to make every sweet scene ten times more emotional as well.

"He sure does love kids," I hear a sweet voice say beside me, causing me to turn my head and see Ben's mom beside me. Almost immediately, I hug her, smiling as she hugs me back and holds me close, her sweet demeanor reflecting the one that Ben has. "When are you two going to have some?" She asks with a laugh, rubbing her hand on my shoulder.

Biting my lip, I pull away from the hug with an even brighter smile before answering. "Hopefully," I tell Ben's mom, taking her hand in mine before pressing it to my stomach. "This one will be here within the next six to seven months."

Almost instantly, she picks up on the blatant revelation before gasping with a grin and hugging me again, almost jumping out of her shoes. "This is wonderful!" She nearly shouts, making me laugh. Pulling back once more, she puts her hands on my shoulders to look at me. "You're pregnant!" She squeals, tears making their way to my eyes at her excitement.

"Ben doesn't know yet," I quickly tell her, receiving a confused look back from her in response. "I wanted to surprise him this weekend, and I just found out a few days ago," I explain as she moves a hand up to rest on my shoulder. With my explanation, she nods and smiles, placing her other hand on my stomach once more.

"You're not that far, are you?" She asks, receiving a head shake back from me.

"No, I think I'm only eight weeks along," I tell her, watching her light up as she turns her head toward Ben's dad as he walks closer.

"Honey, honey!" She beckons him over with a wave of her hand. Smiling, he stops beside her as she takes his hand in hers and places it against my stomach, just as I had done with her moments ago. "We're going to be grandparents!" She whisper-shouts to him with the same excited grin from moments ago.

Just like her, Ben's dad smiles brightly before hugging me, giving my back a few pats before pulling away. "That's fantastic," He says, hugging his wife to his side. "Although, I can tell Ben doesn't know yet."

With a confused smile, I question him, gaining an amused chuckle back. "I think if he knew, he wouldn't let you out of his sight," He explains, making both me and Ben's mom laugh. He's probably right.

Soon enough, Ben's parents go and greet other members of the family while I turn back to watch Ben play with the kids. It's nothing unusual to see the kids try and topple him over, and after a minute of them doing so, he always falls over purposely to make the kids laugh and feel victorious.

Although, what isn't normal is to see one of Ben's nephews, Jeremy, by himself in the garden area. From afar, he looks upset. You can tell by his hunched over form that he's trying to hide himself from the rest, and the sight alone makes me sad. Everyone else is having so much fun - so, why is he trying to be alone?

Walking down the steps of the patio, I walk across the pure green lawn and step onto the concrete stairs of the garden before sitting down beside the small boy. Jeremy glances over at me, only to quickly wipe away his tears.

"Jeremy, honey, what's wrong?" I quickly ask the small boy, placing my hand on his back, which prompts him to lean closer to me. Ben and I have been around these kids since they were little and could barely crawl, it was only expected that they grew close to us.

"Nothing, Auntie (Y/n)," He promises, despite his voice wavering. I frown at this, running my hand over his arm as he rests his head on my arm, trying hard not to resume crying.

"Jer, I know it's not "nothing" - it has to be something," I urge him, looking down to see him closing his puffy and red eyes. I need to know if something is really wrong with him.

After a few seconds, the seven-year-old lets out a sigh before talking. "Everyone is better than me," Jeremy mutters, kicking away a pebble with a gentle nudge of his foot.

"Why do you say that?" I ask, pushing away the hair that had fallen in his face.

"Because they are!" Jeremy practically thunders, only to quickly apologize at his outburst. "It's just... I'm not good at football like Uncle Ben or my cousins..." He further explains, "I'm not good at sports at all, really... everyone's just better than me at everything."

Not knowing what the right thing to do is, I do the first thing that comes to mind and pull him closer to me. "No, they aren't," I tell him, quickly resuming as he begins to cut me off. "And do you want to know something?"

"What?" The seven-year-old asks, peering up at me through crystal green eyes, just like Ben and Ben's father. It must be something passed down in the family; maybe mine and Ben's child will have his forest-like eyes as well.

"I think you are good at sports, but sports don't really matter - what matters is that you are such a kind, soft hearted boy who doesn't deserve to be sad ever," I begin, smiling down at him. "So, don't worry about sports, there are much more important things to worry about. Okay?"

A few seconds pass as Jeremy ponders my words before smiling brightly and practically jumping up from the garden steps. I was expecting him to be a bit cheerier, but I wasn't expecting a total turnaround in his sullen attitude. "Thanks, Auntie (Y/n)! You're gonna be the best mom!" The little boy shouts before running off to join the other kids in what I could assume is another game of football.

Meanwhile, I continue sitting in my spot on the stone steps, thinking about Jeremy's words just as he had done with mine. Smiling to myself, I miss the larger body moving to sit next to mine just before I jolt as I feel familiar arms wrap around me and pull me close. Jerking my head up to see who it is, I let out a small laugh once I see Ben's face, his blond locks matted against his forehead from sweat.

Smiling, Ben gazes down at me as his chest lightly heaves with each breath that enters and leaves his lips. The kids probably did a number on him, going by his reddened cheeks and panting. Not to mention the small drops of sweat sliding down his flustered skin and onto his (what used to be a nice) jumper.

"I heard what you told Jeremy," Ben mutters, moving close to press his lips against my temple. He then moves his hand to my stomach, causing me to accidentally hold my breath. "You are going to be a fantastic mom one day."

Just like earlier with his mom, tears begin forming in my eyes as I wrap my hand around his larger one on my stomach. Glancing back up at him, his eyebrows furrow once he sees my tear-laced eyes. Before he can ask me anything, I quickly explain myself. "Hopefully, in thirty-two weeks, I'll have the opportunity to do so," I tell him, watching as he slightly leans back a bit to look over me.

"Are you...?" He begins, only to stop himself as I nod. Almost instantly, a grin takes over Ben's features as he pulls me against him, moving his lips on top of mine while his arms hold me tightly against him. The tears in my eyes then fall without hesitation just as he moves to wipe them away.

"I'm so happy, darling," He tells me, standing and taking me with him as the grin returns to his face. As soon as I'm on my feet, Ben rewraps an arm around me and pulls me close, causing me to gaze up at him with an almost dopey smile. "No wonder Mum hasn't been able to stop grinning," he notes, giving my side a gentle squeeze before we both step back onto the lawn.

As soon as we do so, the kids run back to Ben and try to tug on my hand. "Auntie (Y/n)!" Berniece, one of our younger nieces, grins up at me. "Can you come and play?"

"Actually, Auntie (Y/n) was about to go rest," Ben tells the kids, making me turn to him with an eyebrow raised. Although, I can't help the smirk that comes to my lips - sure enough, Ben's dad was right. "In fact..." Ben mutters just before bending down to place his other arm under my legs and pick me up, resulting in me quickly gripping onto him for my life.

"Ben!" I shriek his name, making all the kids laugh. Ben just continues smiling as he looks at me in his arms, his dad's loud and happy voice from the porch following the sound of the kids' laughter.

"What did I tell you?!"

Business Arrangement- Part 2

Murderer! Ben Masterlist

Part 1

Summary: (Y/n) is more than ready to take over the business from her father, but the only way he will allow her to is if she marries Ben. For the business (Y/n) and Ben agree, but she soon realises she might just need protection and being with Ben becomes more enjoyable than she first thought.

Enjoy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Thank you,"

"You don't have to thank me, I'm here to protect you."

(Y/n) could feel his hand moving to the small of her back as his soft words reached her ears and the way his fingers spread out against her back made her shiver internally. His words made a fire ignite in (Y/n)'s stomach that spread up into her stomach when she could feel his dominating presence at her side like a shadow looming over her.

Ever since the stranger had tried to strangle her last week, (Y/n) hadn't felt confident coming in early or locking up alone and after having a panic attack when opening up the club, she had to bite the bullet and ask Ben to come in with her, just for a week or so. Just until she could do it on her own without passing out on the doorstep.

She thought he would be annoyed or irritated or that he would say she shouldn't be in charge of the business if she couldn't even open the club on her own. But he didn't. Ben simply smiled in that shark-tooth way and he hadn't seemed to stop smiling since he'd started walking her to and from work like a bodyguard.

In some ways, he was. After all, her father had arranged this marriage primarily because he wanted (Y/n) to be safe. So Ben didn't mind watching over her, he quite liked the role of protector.

"I still think we should have told your dad what happened."

Ben forcefully punched in the pin code to the side entrance of the club before holding the door open for (Y/n), keeping his free hand glued to the small of her back as she walked in.

"He doesn't need another reason to panic about resigning... and I don't want him thinking I'm not capable of running the business."

(Y/n) couldn't have her father knowing about what happened last week. If Dorian knew someone had choked her to threaten her about taking over the business, he would become panicked. He might re-think resigning when it was what he wanted to do and he might say he didn't want (Y/n) to take over anymore if it was going to put her in harms way or if she was going to become stressed out and nervous.

"Okay,"

For a brief moment, (Y/n) felt like she couldn't breathe when Ben's hand moved from resting on her back to reach up to her neck. It felt out of character for his touch to be so gentle, so nervous and caring when his whole demanour was hard, cold and brutal. But his fingers were as light as a feather when they slowly pulled down the scarf around (Y/n)'s neck and the pad of his finger traced the dark red and blue mark that went all around the front of her neck.

Their footsteps came to a stop and (Y/n) gingerly tilted her head up to look at her finance in such a way it made Ben smile subconsciously.

"I'll see you later," His deep, sensual voice flooded through (Y/n) like a drug and it made her knees weak.

(Y/n) held her breath when Ben leaned forward and surprised her with a kiss on her forehead before he turned on his heels and disappeared, leaving her stunned to the spot for a few extra seconds.

Was this how it was going to be from now on? Forehead kisses, little touches here and there, big smiles that made her feel like fainting on the spot. Were they going to fall into a nice little routine, a comfortableness together that could be the basis for a good relationship?

This was a relationship, arranged or not. (Y/n) couldn't think of it as anything less because anything else wasn't worth having. She wanted to marry for love but her head was more practical than her heart and it told her that a marriage like this, one of safety and convenience, could blossom into something more. It was still a marriage and for all intense and purposes, they were going to be close.

(Y/n) wanted this to be a real relationship someday, she didn't want a marriage where they didn't talk or interact or be cosy or comfortable around each other. She didn't want Ben to be the silent partner in their marriage where they didn't interact other than for business or safety.

She wanted to be able to talk to him about almost anything, be around him at home and go out for drinks and talk about her favourite books and movies with him. (Y/n) wanted to hug him and be close to him because if they were going to be married for an uncertain amount of time it meant- at least for (Y/n) she couldn't have another relationship.

There was no way she could have a relationship with someone else when her marriage to Ben was for safety. People were supposed to think they were in love so no one would mess with her or the business.

But maybe this marriage might just work out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A soft smile worked its way onto (Y/n)'s face when her eyes landed on her dad. He was leaning against the far wall on the right, arms folded over his chest with a cigarette in his hand.

"What are we watching?" (Y/n) whispered quietly when she approached him, looking round to see what he was admiring or scrutinising. They were in the gym at the back of the club and (Y/n) knew her dad rarely came into the gym unless they were closed and he was talking to their staff. When her eyes did another sweep around, she realised what he was looking at.

Ben.

He was stood in the middle of the boxing ring, bare chest visible and covered in sweat, suspenders clinging to his broad shoulders and his trousers pulled high on his waist. He was barefoot in the ring and (Y/n) could see his blond curls soaked in sweat and hanging in front of his eyes like curtains.

She couldn't tell who exactly he was fighting since his opponent was hunched over, clinging to Ben's left arm while his right fist was pummelling into his stomach. Ben was both holding the man up and beating him down.

"Who's he fighting?"

"Ronnie."

"Ronnie? He's gonna kill him, you know if he does we won't get the money back, right?"

Ben was going to kill him with the way he was carrying on but (Y/n) couldn't seem to look away. It was oddly captivating to watch him show off his prowess in boxing and the way his smile glimmered like the deep waters of a lake made (Y/n) want to swoon.

Ronnie was someone who borrowed money from their firm and he wasn't doing so well at paying them back. If Ben killed him then they wouldn't get any money back, they wouldn't win they would just create a big mess that needed sorting. Nothing they couldn't handle, (Y/n) had done her fair share of burning documents and passports and logging a few of their men on shift to give them alibis for cleaning up a few situations. But it was still a lot of effort to go through to teach him not to take what he couldn't give back.

"When we dump him back on the streets, our other debts will be rolling in. That boy's gonna be our new hitman."

Something twinged inside (Y/n) when she watched her father nod and smile at Ben before he patted (Y/n) on the shoulder and left the gym. The only reason Ben was here was because her father was worried about (Y/n)'s safety. And it cut something inside of her to see him actually be proud of Ben after a week of him being involved in the company when he didn't give her a lot of appraisal.

She should have walked away and continued back to her office, she knew she should have left but something inside her kept her glued to the spot. Her eyes watched Ben effortlessly throw Ronnie across the ring, leaving a trail of blood splattering across the white floor and a splashback of blood flung at Ben's chest but he didn't care.

He stood in the middle of the ring, a proud smile on his lips and and a head of curls flopping around his face that was covered in beads of sweat rolling down his cheeks and neck.

His chest heaved to make up the breaths he lost while he slowly unravelled the white tape from his knuckles that barely had any scrapes on them at all despite how many punches he had thrown.

"What's buff boy doing here?"

A shiver ran down (Y/n)'s spine and she internally cringed when the gruff voice hit her ears. Why did Owen have to be here?

When she dared to turn her head to see him, she almost groaned out loud at how close and personal Owen made himself. He appeared almost out of nowhere and he stood dangerously close to her.

"Ben? He's working for us now, he's security and kind of a partner now." It felt weird but not all that bad to say that Ben was a partner in the business.

(Y/n) couldn't help but visibly frown when Owen scoffed. Why was he acting so coldly like this? He didn't even know Ben and Owen was only a security guy for the club, he wasn't in on any of the deals. He didn't look after the accounts or do the dodgy deals or the hard dirty work like a lot of others that worked for them. He had no right to be acting like he was high and mighty and Ben had been brought in under his nose.

"Nice. Anyway, what are you doing later, I was thinking we could go out somewhere."

"I don't think so," (Y/n) shook her head as she spoke before taking a step to the side to add a little distance between them.

Owen never seemed to get the message that she wasn't interested in him, or even in dating at all right now. She had the business to think of which took up most of her time and if that wasn't enough, Ben was now in the picture. She couldn't have anyone at the firm thinking it wasn't real and if she went out with Owen and then suddenly married Ben, people would know it wasn't right.

"Oh come on, just one night off wouldn't hurt. You're always working."

"Owen, I have a business to run... and besides, I don't want to go out with you." (Y/n) had to say it, she couldn't beat around the bush like she usually did because it wasn't working or getting through to him that he was trying hard and it wasn't getting anywhere.

Just as (Y/n) turned to try and leave, she felt Owen's hand latch around her wrist and pull her towards him, causing her to collide into his chest. A gasp fell from her lips and she stumbled back a few paces, anger boiling into her blood.

"Why not?"

"Get off me, I'm not interested so get over it." (Y/n) wrenched her wrist free of his hold, rubbing her tender wrist that now hurt from his viper grip.

It shouldn't matter why she said no, he should take her answer like a man and stop harassing her for a date she clearly didn't want.

"Why're you being so uptight-"

"Everything okay here?"

Ben's chest was still heaving, trying to get back the oxygen he had burned beating Ronnie to a pulp. He could feel a bead of sweat trickling down the side of his nose which he brushed away with his bloody fingertip. His eyes were wet with cold sweat but he didn't pay it any mind, he pulled at the strap of his suspenders, snapping them back into place on his shoulders before he ticked his head to the side.

His cold, darkened eyes burned into Owen, daring him to make a comeback. Ben didn't know who the smaller man was, he only knew that it was the same man who had been bothering (Y/n) last week and he didn't like the way he had grabbed her and pulled her back when she clearly wanted to leave.

(Y/n) almost melted when Ben's cold arm slithered around her waist and his hand rested on her hip, gently pulling her back until she was resting up against his bare chest. The move was so slow, tentative but protective.

"Are you alright?" Ben's eyes drifted down to look at (Y/n)'s wrist that she was subconsciously rubbing and he felt his temper starting to flare when he noticed a redness arising on her skin.

"I'm okay, Owen just needs to go back to work."

"(Y/n) come on-"

Owen took a step forward but the moment he did, (Y/n) was suddenly pushed behind Ben's broad back with his arm curled around her side, squeezing her hip tighter than before. Her nose was almost rubbing against his skin and she could smell his fragrant cologne and his natural musty scent that made her head spin. She wasn't in danger but he was protecting her anyway, he didn't have to come to her rescue but he did.

"You were just told to go back to work so I think you'd better run along, little boy." Ben's voice was gritty and hollow and his head tilted to the side as he spoke with a menacing look in his eyes that made (Y/n) shudder.

"Who the fuck are you, anyway? Barging in and getting in the way, I wasn't talking to you."

(Y/n)'s hand pressed against her chest and she swallowed a gasp when Ben lunged forward. His hand suddenly grabbed Owen's face, his finger and thumb pressing into his cheeks and pursing his lips.

"I'm the new security of this company and it didn't look like you were talking to my girl, it looked like you were touching her so I think you'd better scuttle off back to work before you're the next body in that ring. Now fuck off."

Ben let go of Owen's mouth with a forceful shove, watching him in delight as he stumbled back a few paces before he disappeared round the corner. A look of satisfaction passed across Ben's face before he turned on his heels to face (Y/n) who couldn't hide even the smallest smile from her face.

"You okay?"

"Hm."

"Good." He pressed another short kiss to her forehead just like this morning and his hand briefly rubbed up and down her arm before he headed in the direction of the showers. Leaving (Y/n) stunned to the spot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What're you looking at, hun?"

Ben lifted his head from looking at his beer bottle to look over at (Y/n). He had come into the kitchen and bustled about for a few minutes and she had barely moved an inch, he was intrigued to know what she was doing.

"My dad, he gave me these... for the wedding." (Y/n) lifted her head enough to look over at Ben before she gingerly held out the small black box her father gave to her this morning. A smile pulled at Ben's lips when he looked over and saw an engagement ring and a wedding band in the small box.

Dorian always told (Y/n) that whenever she got engaged or married, she would be able to have her mother's wedding rings. When she died, he had kept them safe and when she was fourteen he let her have her mother's only other ring for a keepsake that she never took off. Now this arranged marriage was almost here, he knew it was time for (Y/n) to have the rings.

"Come here, then."

She couldn't help but smile when she looked up to see Ben holding out the engagement ring, spinning it between his thumb and index finger. He was gentle when he slipped it onto her wedding finger, his exterior and his demanour always made him seem harsh and cold, not soft and kind.

"I'm sorry about your mum, by the way."

"Thanks... you know?"

"I think everybody knows what happened to your mum, hun. Your dad castrated the ones that did it, it's pretty hard not to know in the underground." Ben took a swig of his beer and leaned his hips back against the kitchen island.

Almost everyone in the darker side of London knew what happened to (Y/n)'s mum. She was shot in cold blood when she was going home one evening and when Dorian found out who had done it, he castrated all three men and then killed them a week later.

He had gone off the rails after her mum passed and (Y/n) had lived with her death since she was nine. (Y/n) didn't have many memories of her mother and the few she did have, she cherished. Her mother had been depressed most of (Y/n)'s life, she lost her only son when he was three and after that she wasn't the same.(Y/n)'s memories of her were almost always of her in the house and sometimes, crying a lot.

But she was still her mother and (Y/n) missed her every day.

"Yeah, that's kinda why he wants us to marry. I'm all he has left, I had an older brother, the son they tried for years to have but he died. Then we lost mum, dad doesn't have anyone else and he doesn't want anything to happen to me."

"And I won't let anything happen to you."

"Why do you want this marriage? I mean, surely if you ever wanted to marry, you wouldn't pick this."

(Y/n) wasn't sure it could just be the business that made Ben agree to marry her. He was in the same line of business as her father and that was cut throat, not a lot of people would want to marry him and men like Ben weren't always the marrying type. It seemed strange that he would enter a loveless marriage simply to get a foot in a big business.

"Why not? I'm a fighter, that's what I do and as much as I like the business you're in, you're different. Not many girls in this line of work and I don't get time to meet people."

There weren't many girls in the crime scene and Ben had had enough of hiding his work behind a boxer façade. He was done with pretending in a relationship and then having to threaten them not to tell the police what he did. Whereas (Y/n) would be different, he would be helping to run her business and she would know all the things he got up to in the dead of night and she wouldn't be annoyed or frightened or scared by it. He would be working alongside her and he knew that she was different from everyone else. Different is good.

"Anyway, I know your mums rings are important to you and I get that, but you should have a ring from me, kind of makes it real, then, doesn't it? So pick one."

A smile beamed on Ben's face and his brows quirked before he suddenly held both his hands out in front of (Y/n) to emphasise his point. If she didn't have her mother's rings tonight he would of asked her this anyway. He wanted her to pick one of his many rings to wear so she had something of his and to make it more official that they were getting married.

(Y/n)'s eyes widened and raked over Ben's calloused hands, taking in the seven rings he was wearing. One was a dark silver skull that was almost as big as his thumb, he had a black one that looked like it was carved from a stone which was nice but it was on his thumb and would be far too big for her small fingers. He had two gold rings, one with an opal on and a thin black metal one.

But the ring that caught (Y/n)'s attention was a vast silver ring with a rose in the middle and vines curving around the top and bottom of the flower.

She didn't realise she was moving until her index finger was tracing over the petals and feeling the cold groove of the ring.

"You like that one?" Ben didn't give her time to answer, he was already slipping it off his pinky finger and sliding it onto her middle finger on her right hand. It was a little loose but it didn't move past her knuckle meaning it wouldn't accidentally fall off. "It looks good on you,"

Hs words were muttered quietly under his breath but they barely registered in her ears.

One moment (Y/n) was staring at the ring on her finger and the next, she felt Ben's hands cupping her face and gently tilting her head up to look at him. she stared up at him through hooded eyes, her breaths small and shallow before she felt his lips upon hers.

Their lips meshed together and Ben's fingers dug into her neck just beneath her hair sending a shiver through her nerves. She liked the way he pressed up against her, the feel of his deep breaths pushing out against her chest and the way his legs leaned into her and pinned her back against the kitchen counter.

And when his hands moved down to hold her thighs, (Y/n) could have melted on the spot. He easily lifted up her thighs and lifted her up onto the counter without breaking their lips apart. Ben stood between her thighs and she could feel him groan and smile against her lips when she hooked her legs around his waist, digging her heels into her lower back.

Wherever he was going with this, (Y/n) was happy to be along for the ride.
